Testimonials

As a development consultant, supporting MPA is a no-brainer–it is the region’s advocate for the commercial real estate industry.

Lucinda Smedley, Real Estate Consulting Group (RECG) and TREND Report

Since joining MPA, we have met many peers that share the same goals and values for development within the region. In addition, CYPRESS has become involved in several MPA Committees that operate on the forefront of policy change which is invaluable for our business and keeps us better informed. In a Town full of “alphabet” groups, MPA stands out as one of the few that brings together so many within the development community and has a strong voice as a result.

MPA has proven itself to be an invaluable voice for sound community planning in Pima County. Collaborative, informative, educational and pragmatic. What more could we ask for? That is why I have been a supporter and board member for many years.
